Accordingto DXO mark, The Pixel and Pixel XL rear camera scores an 89 in DxOMark, the highest rating ever. This follow their also top scoring camera with Nexus 6p. There's alsogyroscope-based video stabilization on board but no optical image stabilization for photos.

Google Assistant

Pixel is the first phone with the new Google Assistant built in. When you touch and hold the home button or say the "hot word," the Assistant does its magic. In Google's event demo, the Assistant is used to bring up photos from a particular time, plays whatever music you ask, chooses your favorite music app by default. Similarly, it integrates the Google Now on Tap functionality, allowing the user to swipe up with information on the screen, such as a restaurant name, and provides further information, such as reviews and the restaurant's address. Also, like a bot, the Google Assistant will take your reservation for that same restaurant using only voice prompts

Google automatically backs up all images and video shot and will allow free unlimited storage for full-resolution images and videos shot with the Pixel. You can even back up 4k videos.
